Step 3 Is Posted Early!

I realized Tomorrow is 

My Mom's Birthday.

(her 2nd one to celebrate in Heaven)

So, I decided to post 

Step 3 A Day early.

I think By now you have guessed it is a ball.

I know some of you will probably

 You certainly can, but I did not.

It has been my experience that Squeakers 

are a choking hazard.
